Media Minister requests everyone’s support without divisions
The government’s policies are being implemented on three main
pillars,democracy, reconciliation, and development, newly appointed
Finance and Mass Media Minister Mangala Samaraweera said.
The minister was addressing senior officials of the Mass Media Ministry,
Government Information Department and other representatives from the
affiliated institutions yesterday morning.
He requested the support of every media for the successful
implementation of government’s development drive despite the differences
in race, religion and politics. “Sri Lanka has one of the most active
media industries in the region,”he added.
Samaraweera said that they have already started the process of giving
the executive powers to Parliament. The government always listens to the
voice of every community and no country can go forward if it is
divided. Although Sri Lanka was a country which could become developed
after winning independence in 1948, not taking the right decisions at
right time due to various divisions disturbed it. The Minister said that
they are planning to establish an Education Authority and by
establishing private universities the children of the country will get
education while about 30 -40% will win scholarships too.
The Minister further said that many powerful countries in the world
extend invitations to President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister
Ranil Wickremesinghe as they maintain a friendly foreign policy with all
countries and Sri Lanka should use this opportunity for the development
of the country.
